The committee will also meet in a closed session from 1:00 to 2:45 p.m. EST during which time: (1) senior government intelligence officials will provide a threat briefing concerning threats to NS/EP communications; and (2) NSTAC members and government officials will discuss potential future NSTAC study topics. Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 1009(d) of FACA; and sections 552b(c)(1) and 552b(c)(9)(B) of The Government in the Sunshine Act (Sunshine Act), 5 U.S.C. 552b; it has been determined that a portion of the agenda requires closure. These agenda items are the: (1) classified threat briefing, which will provide NSTAC members the opportunity to discuss information concerning threats to NS/EP communications with senior government intelligence officials; and (2) potential future NSTAC study topic discussion. The threat briefing will be classified at the top secret/sensitive compartmented information level. Disclosure of these threats during the briefing, as well as vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques, is a risk to the Nation’s cybersecurity posture because adversaries could use this information to compromise commercial and government networks. Subjects addressed during the discussion are tentative and are under further consideration by the committee. Therefore, this portion of the meeting has been closed pursuant to section 1009(d) of FACA, and sections 552b(c)(1) and 552b(c)(9)(B) of the Sunshine Act, because it will disclose matters that are classified and be likely to significantly frustrate implementation of one or more proposed agency actions.

The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to protect property owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government. See 40 U.S.C. 1315; see also 41 CFR 102–81.15 (requires Executive agencies to be responsible for maintaining security at their own or leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS policy requires all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR 1 to have a criminal history records check through the National Crime Information Center system before accessing the facility. TSA has established a visitor management process that meets DHS requirements. This process allows TSA to conduct business with visitors, including other Federal employees and contract employees, while managing risks posed by individuals entering the building who have not been subject to a full employee security background check. Once an individual’s access is approved, TSA’s Visitor Management System generates temporary badges that visitors must wear when entering TSA facilities in the NCR. This badge must be clearly visible for the duration of the individual’s visit. Visitors seeking to enter TSA facilities must also have a TSA-Federal employee as their host, and the host must complete the electronic TSA Form 2802, Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor Request Form. TSA Form 2802 requires that the Federal host employee provide the visitor’s first and last name, date of birth, date and time of visit, visitor type (e.g., DHS or other government visitor, non-government individual), and whether the visitor is a foreign national visitor.2 Although TSA requests the visitor to provide their social security number (SSN), the visitor is not required to provide this information.

In reviewing the National Crime Information Center vetting results, TSA will consider whether an individual could potentially pose a threat to the safety of TSA employees, contractors, visitors, or the facility. TSA also uses the information to maintain records of access to TSA facilities. TSA previously used TSA Form 2816A, Foreign National Visitor Request—Individual to collect information for individual foreign national visitors and for groups consisting of two or more foreign nationals, TSA Form 2816B, Foreign National Visitor Request—Group. TSA is revising the collection to remove TSA Form 2816A and transition TSA Form 2816B to a web form using SharePoint.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be 
available at https://www.reginfo.gov upon its submission to OMB. 
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following 
information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to--
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.

Information Collection Requirement

    OMB Control Number 1652-0068; Security Appointment Center (SAC) 
Visitor Request Form and Foreign National Vetting Request. The 
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is required to 
protect property owned, occupied, or secured by the Federal Government. 
See 40 U.S.C. 1315; see also 41 CFR 102-81.15 (requires Executive 
agencies to be responsible for maintaining security at their own or 
leased facilities). To implement this requirement, DHS policy requires 
all visitors to DHS facilities in the NCR \1\ to have a criminal 
history records check through the National Crime Information Center 
system before accessing the facility.

Freedom Center, the Transportation Security Integration Facility, 
and the Annapolis Junction facility.

    TSA has established a visitor management process that meets DHS 
requirements. This process allows TSA to conduct business with

    Visitors seeking to enter TSA facilities must also have a TSA-

electronic TSA Form 2802, Security Appointment Center (SAC) Visitor 
Request Form. TSA Form 2802 requires that the Federal host employee

    TSA uses the vetting results to determine the suitability of an 
individual requesting access to the TSA NCR, including whether the 
individual has a criminal history that would warrant further 
investigation and review before TSA grants access to the facility. In 
reviewing the National Crime Information Center vetting results, TSA 
will consider whether an individual could potentially pose a threat to 
the safety of TSA employees, contractors, visitors, or the facility. 
TSA also uses the information to maintain records of access to TSA 
facilities.
    TSA previously used TSA Form 2816A, Foreign National Visitor 
Request--Individual to collect information for individual foreign 
national visitors and for groups consisting of two or more foreign 
nationals, TSA Form 2816B, Foreign National Visitor Request--Group.
    TSA is revising the collection to remove TSA Form 2816A and 
transition TSA Form 2816B to a web form using SharePoint. This 
transition will help reduce user burden by incorporating system-
populated fields and automatic submissions.
    TSA estimates the average annual number of visitors to be 39,213, 
with an annual time burden to the public of 300 hours.
